ALLEN WINS AGAIN Eat the

rainbow

By Michelle Weiss ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Bright and colorful processed foods may be keeping your refrigerator stocked, but the use of certain food dyes have shown to foster negative effects.

Tests performed in mouse models have shown at times to have a link between food dyes and cancer, said Michelle Bratton, an oncology nutritionist at the Arizona Cancer Center.

“A lot of times, they may try to enhance the natural color of a food by adding a food dye to it,” Bratton said.

Food dyes are typically found in processed food. They can be seen in packaged fruit bars, sweetened cereals and frozen entrees. The more processed the food is, the more likely the chance there will be a food dye in it, Bratton said.

While not all food dyes have shown to have potential health risks, some have presented negative effects.

Red 40 is the most widely used and most-tested food dye and can be found in soda, candy and pet food. This dye FOOD DYES, page 3

James Allen, a political science junior, celebrates after winning president of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona in Thursday’s special election. Allen outpaced his four competitors with 66 percent of the vote while the second-place candidate, Daniel Hernandez, brought in 21 percent.

Walk away cancer

A month after being disqualified from the general election, James Allen wins the special election for ASUA president

By Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT After longer than a month of violations, accusations and legal wrangling, James Allen had been named the new ASUA president.

About 60 people in the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership in the Student Union Memorial Center gathered to hear the announcement, and the room broke into cheers as his name was read.

Allen prevailed with 66 percent of the vote, virtually the same margin as in the March 9 general election. He garnered 1,312 of the 1,986 ballots cast during the 12-hour special

election.

Allen, with tears in his eyes, was mobbed in the center of the room as supporters and well-wishers went to congratulate him on his win.

Brett and Bryan Ponton , members of Allen’s candidate slate who were named administrative and executive vice president, respectively, in the general election, rushed to Allen as soon as the news was announced.

Allen also received a congratulatory phone call from Chris Nagata , a former president of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona.

“It feels great,” a visibly emotional Allen said after extricating himself from the crowd.

“I’m so passionate about this, this office, that’s why I’ve pursued it to this point. I’ve meant every word I’ve said and to finally come to the completion and this result is an unbelievable feeling.”

To Allen, it was the student’s belief in him as a candidate that spurred him to victory with a substantial margin.

“I think (students) trusted me and believed in my legitimacy as a candidate,” Allen said. “I can’t express what that belief means and I promise that I won’t let them down.”

Allen also said he believed his margin of victory proved that his platform resonated with students, but that he would work to win over any

who still doubted his legitimacy after being disqualified from the general election for an excess of campaign violations.

After the announcement, Allen shared a long embrace with current ASUA President Emily Fritze .

“I just told him ‘You’re done,’” Fritze said afterward.

“But he’s only done with this part, now the real work can begin.”

Fritze said that Allen’s late ascension to the presidency could present challenges, such as hiring ASUA staff for the fall.

Fraternity will hold benefit to fight breast cancer

By Eliza Molk ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity is having its first annual Walk for Breast Cancer on Sunday, April 24, to support the Sharsheret foundation, an organization for Jewish women fighting breast cancer.

Brian Mazel, the Alpha Epsilon Pi assistant philanthropy chair and a biology sophomore, said that, because the fraternity has not held an annual philanthropy event in the past, the walk would be a good way to get the UA and Tucson community involved in charity work.

The event is a two-kilometer walk around the UA campus. The cost of participation is $5 for students and children and $10 for adults. Registration is the day of the walk and will begin at 11 a.m. outside of the Student Union Memorial Center. The walk will start at noon.

In addition, Alpha Epsilon Pi is selling T-shirts for the event, which cost $15 for women’s shirts and $10 for men’s shirts.

The fraternity also invited other Jewish organizations on campus, including the Hillel Center and UA Chabad, as well as the Tucson community as a whole, according to Mazel.

Regents professor Robert Strom first began studying planetary catastrophes and climate change on Mars, which sparked his interest in the same situations on Earth.

“And when I collected all the information, it scared the hell out of me,” Strom said.

“My generation, we didn’t know that it was happening and now the baby boomers, they know it’s happening but they aren’t doing anything about it. So now, it’s up to you (college students).”

After an initial interest in the subject in the mid-1990s, he began to write a book in 2003 and published it in 2007.

The Graduate and Professional Student Council inaugurated 18 new members to the 2011-2012 council, including Roeland Hancock as president, who is the husband of current president Emily Connally.

Connally said that there is no one she trusts more to take on the role of GPSC president because Hancock has the best understanding about what the president does on a daily basis. She explained that although he has a different style than her, describing him as a more reasonable, “quiet killer,” she considers him to be one of the biggest and brightest contributions to the university.

Hancock ran unopposed,

despite that fact that about 10 different people approached Connally about running for the position of president prior to the elections. Although Connally said she was “surprised” only one person ran for president, she could see that many of the people who spoke to her expressed concern about the great time commitment associated with the office of president.

More than 300 students voted in the GPSC elections, held online from April 8 to April 15.

About half as many students voted in this year’s elections in comparison to last, according to Connally, which she said was an “abysmal turnout.”

has shown to cause allergylike reactions, according to the Center for Science in the Public Interest. Flaws were found in mouse model tests and the Food and Drug Administration said the findings would not be considered harmful, according to the center.

“I don’t like sweets,” said Jordan Gietz, a pre-business freshman. “I’d rather eat cooked meals than frozen food.”

Kathryn DeSandro, an English sophomore, said she occasionally drinks soda and sometimes eats candy.

Knowing that certain foods may have potential health risks makes her worry, she said. The FDA runs a lot of tests though, so DeSandro said she isn’t very concerned about it.

Yellow 5 food dye can cause hyperactivity in some children and allergy-like hypersensitivity in aspirin-sensitive people, according to the Center for Science in the Public Interest.

It also may have cancer-causing contaminants. Yellow 5 can be found in foods such as gelatin dessert, pet food and baked goods, according to the center.

Gietz said he tries to stay away from preservatives and even his dog eats organic food.

Manufacturers could use foodbased dyes instead, which are thought to be safer, Bratton said.

“There’s more natural things they can use, but they may not provide those bright colors, and I think in our society we kind of come to expect that,” she said.

There may not be a willingness from manufacturers or consumers in the United States to accept products that do not have bright colors, Bratton said. For example, people expect to see a bright red color for a strawberry cereal bar or a bright blue for a blueberry-flavored snack.

DeSandro said she likes to eat brightly colored foods, especially fruit.

“In European countries and in Britain, they are kind of making a shift away from synthetic dyes and using more of the

“But we need to start the transition and preparation for him because next year is going to be an exciting year, a demanding year and a life-changing year.”

She said she is committed to helping him succeed and believes he will.

“I realized long ago that I probably wouldn’t be done by May 2,” Fritze said, laughing.

Fritze also congratulated all five of the candidates who ran in the special election.

“I’m very proud of all of them,” she said. “It takes a lot of gumption to run for student body president, a lot of dedication.”

As for Allen, Fritze said she thinks his dedication is clear from how he’s handled the drawn-out election process.

food-based dyes,” Bratton said.

In an October 2008 issue of Nutrition Action Health Letter, it was stated that the food dye used in a McDonald’s strawberry sundae was Red 40 in the U.S, while in England, the coloring source for the sundae came from real strawberries.

“I feel like we should do the same things they do,” Gietz said. “It should be more about the quality of it.”

The important thing to remember is that it is unknown whether food dye, additives, sugars and fats are the cause of an increased risk of cancer, Bratton said. It may be that eating processed foods contributes to the lack of healthy

whole food components someone consumes.

“As we eat more of those processed foods, we typically eat less vegetables, we eat less fruit, we eat less whole grains,” she said.

From a cancer perspective, Bratton said she advocates a plant-based diet with lots of fruits and vegetables.

“The bright colors that are naturally occurring in fruits and vegetables are incredibly pleasing to the eye and can make a very healthy plate,” Bratton said.

If someone is looking for a healthy meal, the phrase “eat the rainbow” is the way to go, she said.

presidency and he can prove to the students how hard he is willing to work.”

Daniel Hernandez, who finished second with 22 percent of the vote, declined any comment after the results were announced. Robert Rosinski, a former ASUA Senate candidate who elected to join the president’s race for the special election, shook Allen’s hand and congratulated him on the win. Rosinski finished with 3 percent of the vote.

The other two special election candidates, Jesse Gunsch and Myles Tacher, finished with 6 percent and 2 percent of the vote, respectively.

Allen said he believes the challenge of going through two elections will serve him well as he prepares to take on his new role as ASUA president.

“I ask the students to trust me,” Allen said. “I ask them to give me the opportunity to prove myself.”

US sending armed drones to Libya McClatchy Tribune WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama has approved the use of armed Predator drone aircraft to launch airstrikes against ground targets in Libya, the latest sign of mounting concern in Washington that the NATO-led air campaign has failed to stop Moammar Gadhafi’s forces from shelling the besieged city of Misrata and other populated areas.

Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates, who announced the decision at a Pentagon news conference, said that Predators armed with Hellfire missiles will be used to augment airstrikes by

warplanes from NATO nations against the intensifying attacks by forces loyal to Gadhafi.

The decision marks a resumption of a direct combat role for U.S. aircraft in Libya and marks a shift for the White House. It follows decisions by France, Italy and Britain earlier this week to send military advisers to assist the poorly armed, inexperienced and disorganized rebel force based in eastern Libya.

The first Predator mission was launched Thursday, but the pilotless plane was forced to turn back because of poor weather conditions, said Marine Gen. James Cartwright, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

TUSD audits threaten culture Elisa Meza Arizona Daily Wildcat

I

magine private investigators sitting in the corner of your classroom. They’ve been hired by your school district to see if what you’re discussing is too controversial, thus illegal. They’re taking notes on what you say.

Imagine these investigators seeking hints of ethnic chauvinism. What would that look like?

They’re also looking for plans to overthrow the government after learning alternative perspectives of history.

This isn’t a “1984” scenario, this is reality in the Tucson Unified School District. Students enrolled in TUSD’s ethnic studies program are faced each day with private auditors in their classrooms, jotting notes. These auditors were hired by the Arizona Department of Education from the Cambium Learning Group of Dallas for $170,000.

The simple notion of youth in Arizona being able to comprehend the complexity of the history of this country, gaining empowerment in an intellectual identity, has become what politicians fear the most.

One week after S.B. 1070 was signed, Arizona showed its xenophobic backbone with a bill to exterminate beautiful and invaluable knowledge of cultures. On May 11, 2010, Gov. Jan Brewer signed House Bill 2281, the state ban on ethnic studies courses being taught in public schools. Since then, Tucson has urged the district to support the program by not complying with the bill and listening to the youth.

H.B. 2281 states classes cannot be taught if they “promote the overthrow of the U.S. government, promote the resentment toward a race or class of people, are designed to primarily for pupils of a particular ethnic group, or advocate ethnic solidarity instead of the treatment of pupils as individuals.”

The ambiguity of how to tell if a classroom of students is plotting to overthrow the government shows in TUSD’s inability to cope with the stupidity. The district makes indirect decisions on education instead of speaking with the youth directly impacted by these decisions.

Without being able to define what it means to promote ethnic chauvinism or solidarity, the district went ahead and hired auditors to find what they don’t know to look for. Local KGUN9 News couldn’t even get a direct interview with Cambium Learning Group. Instead, they received an email that couldn’t explain how their audit questions would help to determine if the classes are out of compliance.

According to KGUN9, in early March, “The audit team’s lead investigator, Dr. Steve Gallon, stepped down after the Save Ethnic Studies group learned he was arrested and accused of conspiring to commit theft of educational services in New Jersey where he lives.”

As quickly as the lead auditor took off, TUSD gave into pressure by the state. Without ever defining the bill’s ambiguity, TUSD decided to write up a resolution to comply.

According to the resolution posted by the Tucson Citizen on Tuesday, “Commencing with the 2011-12 academic year, the MAS courses cannot be used to satisfy the state’s core Social Science requirements. The courses used to satisfy those requirements should be taught by regular high school faculty and expose all students to a common set of diverse viewpoints.”

Of ethnic studies course offered, Mexican American studies was singled out. Without addressing a real issue, they instead propose an even cloudier question: What does a “common” and “diverse” viewpoint look like?

TUSD runs around in circles by claiming, “The MAS courses are deliberately founded upon a specific political and educational philosophy … Students who rely on these courses to satisfy core requirements may thus hear … a relatively narrow range of viewpoints.”

If this viewpoint can’t be given a classroom, what is allowed to have one? If a course’s mission is to explore the specific contributions of Mexican-Americans in the US, is that considered ethnic chauvinism?

If we doubt youth’s ability to engage in their country’s history and their culture’s contributions to it, we invalidate their existence as individuals in our society. We cannot allow for knowledge to be suppressed from young minds. The past should never be manipulated or dimmed, only preserved to encourage a critical consciousness.

MAILBAG Administration’s silence a disservice to students

I have been waiting to hear a public response from the UA administration on the vandalism that occurred on the No Mas Muertes Mock Border Wall in the form of a person of Mexican descent being violently lynched, as reported by the Daily Wildcat. I’m appalled and disgusted by their reticent apathy. How is a student of Mexican descent supposed to feel safe on a University campus that doesn’t reprimand such a hateful and racist act? I speak as a Chicano student when I state that I am sorely disappointed in the UA administration’s disingenuous reluctance to take a stand on this very serious issue.

Student regent’s appointment should be decried

I am writing to express my visceral displeasure regarding the issue raised

by Storm Byrd in his column (“New regent disrespects Arizona’s students” April 19) concerning Tyler Bowyer ’s appointment to the Arizona Board of Regents.

Typically a university’s student government solicits applications from the student population of one of the three main campuses, which take turns in selecting the initial pool of student regent applicants. This pool is narrowed down to six applicants who then interview

with Arizona Students’ Association and Graduate and Professional Student Council representatives from all three campuses.

ASA then prioritizes and recommends three candidates to the governor, who nearly always appoints ASA’s top selection. Bowyer ’s circumvention of this process not only shows profound disrespect to the students of this state, but to the traditional democratic institutions that have been in place since the early days of the office of student regent, a position brought about by the efforts of ASA. While to some extent I can sympathize with Bowyer in regards to the process being dominated by ASA members and the difficulty of overcoming the barriers to entry imposed on a non-ASA member, as a former student regent candidate and having no association with ASA before applying for the position, I found the process fair, professional and that it resulted in the selection of a candidate for whom I had and continue to have only the utmost respect, David Martinez III. Though disappointed I did not end up as one of the final three candidates, the process made me realize the gaps in my experiences and knowledge of the key issues of concern to ASA and their constituents. This prompted me to seek and win a seat in student government.

While I did not have a second opportunity to seek the student regent position, my experience convinced me that working in student advocacy is a

vital undertaking in order to be able to best represent the interests of Arizona’s students.

By circumventing this process, Bowyer shows not only his contempt for ASA, its members and the institutions put in place by those chosen to represent the students of Arizona, but as Byrd pointed out, toward every student in the state of Arizona. Furthermore, the statement that he was aligned and the position was recommended suggests cronyism and offers no assurances that Bowyer will serve the needs of the students as opposed to the interests of Gov. Jan Brewer or the Legislature.

Both the governor and the Legislature have advanced policies that have been damaging, if not outright hostile, to higher education in Arizona.

Bowyer should not accept such an appointment and allow those democratically elected by Arizona’s students to determine the individual who is best suited to serve their interests.

I call on the student governments of Arizona’s universities to pass resolutions decrying this contemptible subversion of our traditional institutions, the universities’ newspapers to continue to follow this issue and Arizona’s students to write to their governor and representatives expressing their displeasure at Brewer ’s and Bowyer ’s silencing of their voices on this critical matter.

GOP spending cuts reverse progress Nyles Kendall Arizona Daily Wildcat

I

f you’ve been keeping up with the goings-on in Washington, D.C., lately, you’re probably aware of the fact that the federal government is in the middle of a budgetary crisis of epic proportions.

With a government shutdown temporarily averted, and the Paul Ryan 2012 budget proposal on its way to the Senate, Congress’ next battle will be fought over whether or not to raise the debt ceiling.

If Democrats and Republicans fail to hammer out an agreement before the deficit reaches its $14.3 trillion limit, the U.S. will be legally prohibited from borrowing more money. The federal government will then default on its existing debt obligations and the country will go bankrupt.

Republicans, staying true to their obstructionist ways, have vowed to block all efforts to avert this impending crisis unless the Democrats agree to more significant cuts in spending (as if the $38.5 billion in cuts that were approved in the

last budget resolution weren’t enough).

Democrats have acknowledged that deep spending cuts will have to be made in order to come to an agreement, but are weary of the effects it will have on the economy, and rightfully so.

While it is true that a federal deficit in excess of $14 trillion is unsustainable and will need to be reduced at some point, what many on the right have failed to recognize is that the two years of deficit spending has kept the economy from spiraling into a much deeper recession.

The Bush administration, on the other hand, spent billions on a failed prescription drug program, two wars and tax cuts for the wealthy, while most of the Obama administration’s expenditures have been aimed at job creation and economic growth.

The $800 billion stimulus package cut taxes for the middle class, poured millions into shovel-ready infrastructure projects and, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, created between 1.4 million to 3.3

million jobs.

As a result, Americans are earning and spending more and, for the most part, employment has trended upward.

Contrary to what most Republicans will tell you, the benefits of deficit spending have far outweighed its detriments. In a recession, raising the debt ceiling, which will allow the government to incur more debt, is key to maintaining positive economic growth and will prevent the country from going bankrupt.

Once the economy has sufficiently recovered, unemployment has trickled down and wages are back to normal, Americans will have more taxable income, which will provide the government with the revenue to reduce the deficit.

But the Republican solution to this problem, slashing spending by unprecedented amounts, will counteract the effects of the stimulus, and almost certainly stunt, or even reverse, the pace of the economic recovery.

If the GOP’s draconian spending cuts are approved and implemented, a double-dip recession will be just around the bend.

GTS: gym, tan, swoop

A jealous ex-boyfriend was arrested for criminal damage on April 19.

At 3:17 a.m., a University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to the Coronado Residence Hall after receiving a report of a fight in progress.

Upon arrival, the officer was escorted to the incident location on an upper level of the dorm.

He knocked on the door of the room and announced his presence, but received no response.

Though no one answered, the officer could hear rustling from inside the room that sounded like wrestling.

Instead of waiting at the door, the officer met with the neighbors who shared a bathroom with the room in question.

The residents allowed the officer to enter and cross through to the other room.

From the bathroom, the officer was able to see a 12-by-8 inch hole in the door and fist sized indentations.

The officer then knocked on the bathroom door and asked to enter.

Upon entering the room, the officer found a male UA student lying on top of his bed.

There was a strong odor of alcohol on his breath and his fists had abrasions and cuts on the knuckles.

He was then removed from his bed and placed into handcuffs.

In the corner of the room, the officer noticed a trash bin full of beer cans.

According to the student, he had invited his ex-girlfriend — a UA student — over to hang out with him and his roommate.

Though they once dated, it had been over a year since they had been together.

His roommate invited another person over and the four began drinking.

However, the student became upset when his roommate started flirting with his ex-girlfriend.

He admitted to being jealous and losing his temper.

Even after approaching his roommate and telling him to stop flirting with her, the roommate continued.

When his roommate and the ex-girlfriend left, the student became angry and started hitting the bathroom door.

At this point, the officer arrested him for criminal damage and minor in possession.

On his way out of the dorm, the officer ran into the student’s roommate in the elevator.

His roommate corroborated the story and said that he had left to walk the girl back to the Apache-Santa Cruz Residence Hall.

The officer, after noticing symptoms of intoxication, then cited and released the roommate for minor in possession as well.

A female UA student returned to her vehicle on April 19 to find that it had been broken into and several valuables had been stolen.

At 8:09 a.m., a UAPD officer made contact with the student and inspected the vehicle.

The car’s right rear passenger window was shattered, with glass shards in and around the vehicle.

There was no evidence at the scene as to what was used to break the window.

From her back seat, an Apple laptop, prescriptions and a sorority backpack containing her credit cards and identification had been stolen.

Because she had parked her car in the Delta Chi fraternity parking lot, the officer made contact with the house adviser.

The fraternity member advised the officer that surveillance cameras pointed toward the parking lot had caught the breakin on camera.

At 5:04 a.m., a man wearing a light colored sweatshirt started walking around the parking lot, looking into cars with a flashlight and trying to open several cars using the door handles.

Thirteen minutes later, he broke in to the student’s vehicle and ran out of the area into the back alley carrying something.

A discarded prescription bottle was found empty inside the vehicle next to the broken window.

The student told the officer that the bottle once had pills in it so the thief must have taken them.

The bottle was taken into UAPD evidence and was sent to the crime lab for a finger print analysis.

Bookstore security doesn’t mess around

UofA Bookstore loss prevention staff tracked a male UA student to his class to charge him for shoplifting on April 19.

At 12:32 p.m., a UAPD officer responded to the bookstore and met with loss prevention personnel.

They said that they had witnessed a man shoplift a pen by putting it into his bag of purchased goods.

While they were not able to stop him on his way out, they tracked his information using the credit card information from his previous purchase.

Based on this information, they found him in his class at the Center for English as a Second Language.

On arrival, the officer met with the suspect who admitted to taking the pen out of convenience.

He was charged with shoplifting and released on scene.

A Dean of Students Office code of conduct referral was completed.

Police Beat is compiled from official University of Arizona Police Department reports. A complete list of UAPD activity can be found at www.uapd.arizona.edu.

The University of Arizona Pre-Pharmacy Club proudly earned the Most Outstanding Volunteer Group and the Conquistador Award from the El Tour de Tucson Committee. Several members from the club had volunteered all day at the El Tour de Tucson biking event in November 2010 and showed extraordinary effort. The award was giving in March.

RECYCLE

WORTH NOTING

ON THE SPOT Having a ball

Please recycle your copy of the Arizona Daily Wildcat.

If on campus, you may use any recycling bin regardless of the label.

Robbie Skolnik

Secretary of Zeta Bet Tau fraternity

I am sure a lot of people are really confused as to what this big ball being rolled around the Mall is.

So this big ball … basically what we did was we went around to a bunch of local sponsors and they agreed to donate about 5-25 cents for every signature we get on this ball, and all the proceeds go directly to the Tucson branch of Children’s Miracle Network.

Are you guys going to be playing beach volleyball?

If you want to play beach volleyball, go right ahead. Be my guest with this thing!

What is something you really want to do with this ball? Anything?

So many things. What I really want to do is go to the top of the hill and be like “Yo, whoever this ball hits has to sign it,” and just roll it down the hill. Kickball would be cool, but I think it would break my foot.

What are you doing to prepare for your summer body?

Gym, swimming … clearly I’m ripped.

You gotta’ get the sex curves going.

Oh I got those, can’t you tell?

Lady Gaga just looks horny … these people really are

Web Director Colin Darland

Lady Gaga may have shocked the world recently when she appeared in public with what looked like horns sticking out of her face and shoulders, but she’s actually just horning in on an existing — and, so far, very underground — trend.

Gaga recently appeared in Harper’s Bazaar magazine looking as if she had horns sticking out of her face. Although she said the socalled horns were her real bones, and she had merely been “waiting for the right time to reveal to the universe” who she truly is, some ex-

perts are skeptical.

New York plastic surgeon Dr. Barry M. Weintraub has analyzed pictures of the singer and believes her new protuberances are not surgically implanted.

“They are more likely skin-colored shapes, such as triangles, that have been applied externally,” Weintraub said. “It’s either sophisticated makeup or an externally fastened prosthesis.”

But while Gaga’s look may be the result of external makeup, there is a tiny part of humanity that prefers to

Junior short stop Katelyn Boyd, 17, crosses home plate after her game-winning grand slam in the seventh inning of ASU’s 4-0 win over Arizona on Thursday at Hillenbrand Stadium. The Wildcats were shut down by ASU’s freshman pitcher Dallas Escobedo, who had a perfect game through the first 5.1 innings.

ASU’s freshman pitcher shuts out Wildcats 4-0

By Tyler Johnson ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Shelby Babcock pitched an absolute gem for six innings of the biggest game of her young career. Unfortunately, the game lasted seven innings.

Babcock allowed just two hits in the first six innings, going pitch-for-pitch with ASU’s freshman ace Dallas Escobedo, who took a perfect game 5.1 innings and earned a shout out win, 4-0.

Arizona’s freshman pitcher showed tremendous poise in the top of the fifth inning, when she was able to get three Sun Devils out after the leadoff batter reached third.

Any hit into the outfield would have scored Arizona State’s Kayla Ketchum, but Babcock produced a line drive straight to second, a strike out and weak grounder to short to escape the jam.

Babcock faced a similar situation in the

next inning, downing two straight batters with a runner on second.

“I thought Shelby threw a hell of a ballgame and gave us an opportunity,” head coach Mike Candrea said after the game.

The trouble came in the seventh when the Sun Devils loaded the bases with one out and the scored tied at zero. The next batter hit a weak grounder that allowed the Wildcats to preserve the shut out with a force at home.

Then came short stop Katelyn Boyd, ASU’s leading home run hitter. Boyd hit the second pitch she saw over the center field wall for a grand slam, and four Wildcat hitters later the game was over.

Babcock summarized her mistake simply.

“I left the ball a little bit too over the plate to a really good hitter,” she said.

Boyd’s home run was perhaps a fitting end to a game where every pitch mattered and the teams were dead even until the very last inning. Babcock was outstanding for six

innings, but one mistake may have cost her the biggest win of her career.

The Wildcats had only one real chance on offense. In the sixth inning a two-out single to shallow left field by Karissa Buchanan loaded the bases. Arizona’s next batter was Brittany Lastrapes, who leads the team with a .467 batting average. As the excitement in Hillenbrand Stadium reached a fever pitch, Lastrapes went down on strikes.

“We played a good team and we didn’t give ourselves a lot of chances offensively,” said Candrea. “And when we had a chance we didn’t cash in.”

On the other side of the ball, Escobedo was dominant throughout the game. The freshman allowed just one hit and two walks. The Wildcats will likely see her again on Saturday, the final game of their series.

The two remaining tilts are tonight at 7 and Saturday at 1 p.m.

Baseball hurting for series win ’Cats look to bounce back after loss

By Alex Williams ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT After losing last night’s series opener 4-2 at Oregon, No. 23 Arizona must now scramble to win its first series since it took 2-of-3. against Cal in early April.

The Ducks scored two runs in the eighth inning to break a 2-2 tie, spoiling Kurt Heyer’s strong start.

Here’s what Arizona will need to do to win the next two games of the series:

Cross the bridge

When Arizona closer Matt Chaffee has gotten the ball in save situations, he’s been lights out. Chaffee has recorded four saves in his limited time at the back of the bullpen, but that number would be higher without Arizona’s struggles in middle relief situations.

“I’ve been trying to avoid those freshmen, but it’s over — we have to go that route,” head coach Andy Lopez said. “We’ve got to find someone to get us to Chaffee, so we’re going to run a few more arms out there this weekend.”

Thursday night’s loss to Oregon makes this even more necessary. While Heyer wasn’t as sharp as usual -— nine hits over 7.2 innings — he still gave Arizona a chance to win. However, Bandilla’s inability to get out of the inning added another chapter to the bullpen’s season-long struggles.

Every day’s Friday

Arizona has yet to lose a series opener this season, thanks in large part to Kurt Heyer’s dominance. But Heyer’s performance isn’t the only reason for Arizona’s success in openers — the Wildcats have also hit better and played better defense in series openers.

“I like this team,” Lopez said. “These guys are not scared to compete, they’re good people, they do all the (right) things off the field. I’m trying to find the right buttons right now.”

Though bad luck has played a part, the

Sophomore pitcher Kurt Heyer left Thursday night’s game against Oregon in the seventh inning with the game tied 2-2. Junior relief pitcher Bryce Bandilla came in and immeditely hit the first batter and then gave up two run-scoring singles. The Wildcats will try to tie the series in the second game tonight at 6 in Oregon’s PK Park.

Wildcats haven’t helped themselves after Friday nights. Arizona is hitting .340 in series openers — against some of the best pitchers in America — but are hitting a measly .264 in the second and third games combined. Lopez said that Arizona’s swings get longer, but he couldn’t pinpoint whether that was due to fatigue, a lack of focus or any other reason.

Feel the urgency

The amount of time left in the regular season is ticking down, and so is Arizona’s chance to make a move in the conference standings. The Wildcats opened with a brutal four-weekend stretch in conference — all four teams are in Baseball America’s top-25 poll — but that doesn’t mean Arizona can sit back and expect to win its next few series, even if the opponents haven’t been as successful.

“A sense of urgency is definitely coming up a little bit,” said outfielder Rob Refsnyder.

“We know we have to pick it up. Now we’re getting to the teams … we know they’re still good teams, but we need to compete a little bit better than we have been. Two out of three is the goal, and a sweep is really the ultimate goal.”

The series is being played Thursday through Saturday instead of the usual Friday through Sunday so that teams can be home in time for the Easter holiday.

PITCHING MATCHUPS Tonight: Kyle Simon (6-3, 3.20 ERA) vs. Madison Boer (2-2, 2.13 ERA) Saturday: Tyler Hale (3-3, 4.71 ERA) vs. Alex Keudell (4-3, 2.78 ERA)

While I was covering the Arizona football program for the last two seasons I often found myself wondering: Who are the Wildcats?

Are they good? Are they bad? Are they relevant? Are they really contenders? Are they really moving forward each week?

The answer to each question was and, for the time being, will always be that I don’t know. I don’t really think anyone does.

Try to think of team that has been more enigmatic over the last two seasons than the Arizona football team. I mean it, try.

You can’t, can you? I can’t either. For every last-minute touchdown pass to Bug Wright that beat Iowa there was a missed extra point. For every Juron Criner dive into the end zone to beat Southern California in 2009 there was an inexplicable double-pass on a critical third down.

Arizona football has been to the highest of highs and lowest of lows, but I still don’t know how to classify it.

But what about this? Arizona football is cursed.

Let’s assume that Arizona football officially arrived on the college football scene after it beat BYU in the Las Vegas Bowl in 2008. Take a look at this list of lowlights from the next two seasons: 2009: an interception off of Delashaun Dean’s foot that allowed Washington to comeback and beat Arizona, the aforementioned double-pass by Nick Foles in a loss to California, Jeremiah Masoli scoring six (six!) touchdowns to lead Oregon over Arizona on the same day as College GameDay on national TV and getting embarrassed by Nebraska in the Holiday Bowl on national TV. And losing its offensive and defensive coordinators, too.

2010: Getting annihilated through the air in a loss to a James Rodgers-less Oregon State, getting embarrassed by Stanford on national TV, getting outscored 34-10 in the second half against Oregon on national TV, Alex Zendejas missing two extra points in a loss to a bad ASU team on national TV and getting embarrassed by Oklahoma State in the Alamo Bowl on national TV. Not to mention finishing the season on a five-game losing streak. And losing a cooffensive and a co-defensive coordinator.

That just isn’t fair. No player, coach or fan should have to endure that. And what have the Wildcats done since? Nothing of note, which in the spring is fine. Actually that isn’t true — they lost their starting strong safety (Adam Hall), sam linebacker (Jake Fischer) and second-leading rusher (Greg Nwoko) to torn ACL’s.

I know, deep breaths.

Losing Fischer was the final straw. Not only was he a productive player, he was exactly what the Arizona coaches wanted. Tough, hard worker, leader. An effort guy. Maybe not an All-American on the field, but an All-American person. The type of guy that works his tail off every minute he’s KOSCH, page 11

One last chance

Tennis looks to end season with win

By Zack Rosenblatt Arizona Daily Wildcat The Arizona men’s tennis team’s recent struggles have been well documented, but the Wildcats will travel to Las Cruces, N.M., after a week off.

The Wildcats will take on two more teams currently ranked higher than Arizona, who recently dropped six spots from No. 55.

This afternoon the No. 61 Wildcats will take on the No. 56 Idaho Vandals (16-6).

While Arizona is finished with the very difficult Pacific 10 Conference season in which it went 0-6, Idaho is no slouch.

Neither is No. 50 Boise State, the Wildcats’ opponent on Sunday. This will be the second meeting between the Wildcats and the Broncos, Mike Christy/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Arizone linebacker Jake Fischer’s ACL tear in the spring game last weekend was the latest bad break in a long list of mishaps for the Arizona football program. Safety Adam Hall and running back Greg Nwoko also tore their ACL’s during the spring practice season.

KOSCH continued from page 10 at work and then comes home to his family and his golden retriever.

Hang on, I think I’ve got it.

The Arizona football program is a 7-month-old golden retriever puppy. Hear me out: At first glance, it’s beautiful.

A face-of-the-program quarterback, lots of talent around him, and a head coach that you could still say is an up-andcomer. And they have really nice uniforms.

But you can kind of tell that, despite it growing bigger by the day, it hasn’t grown into its body mentally yet. The Vegas Bowl win probably inflated

expectations a bit. While the potential was there, the Wildcats were nowhere near contending for the Rose Bowl in 2009 or 2010 despite expectations.

The constant appearances on national TV only enhanced Tucson’s excitement. There’s still a lot of growing to be done, both mentally (they need to learn how to close games) and physically (they still need to recruit better athletes).

They act tough when they bark at dogs that pass when they’re sitting on the front step, 50 feet from the electric fence on the perimeter of your property, but cower when passing another dog on a walk. Arizona can beat up on Toledo or Washington State, but it’s just 2-5 against ranked teams and 0-2 in bowl

games the last two years.

And even when the puppy tries to do good, it’s still immature enough to mess up — a renewed focus in the 2011 spring season resulted in those three key ACL tears. Sidenote: Golden’s are very susceptible to ACL tears as well. Bonus for the analogy.

But if we’re sticking with the analogy, keep this in mind: golden retrievers age quickly and they become one heck of a dog.

Maybe the Wildcats have that in common with them, too. And maybe now, finally, the growing pains are behind them.

who have a 14-12 overall record going into the weekend (2-2 in the Western Athletic Conference).

In February, these teams played each other in the Blue/Gray classic. At the time, Arizona was ranked No. 46 and Boise was ranked No. 37. Arizona was playing without senior leader Andres Carrasco, but still managed to pull out a solid 4-2 victory.

After losing the doubles point, singles victories from Andre Vidaller, Geoff Embry, Mario Urquidi and Sam Barr powered Arizona to victory.

“It was great to see different guys step up when we needed them to,” coach Tad Berkowitz said at the time.

And Arizona will need to step up again if it wants to end the season on good terms.

Senior Andres Carrasco will play in his final tennis matches this weekend when the Wildcats take on Idaho and Boise State. The Wildcats (8-13, 0-6 Pacific 10 Conference) are longshots to make the NCAA’s.
